Doddie Weir’5 Discretionary Trust Fund benefited by over £3000 on Friday night when The charity team The Crusaders took on a Melrose Vets team at Murrayfield Wanderers’ plastic pitch in Edinburgh. Melrose legends from the past including John Dalziel, Scott Wight, Graeme Dodds, Scott Johnson, Rob Chrystie and Tom Weir all turned out for the Melrose team.
